9. ACTIVITIES
Competition Green Roof Domain
2010
This competition was for students, architects and
designers in Japan, the brief being to imagine a new
type of public space.
I considered the abundant underused roof space
existing in our cities and imagined a new vibrant
space, connecting rooftop to rooftop. By introducing
ROOF STRUCTURE PLAYGROUND PET AREA VEGETABLE GARDEN
planting on the roof, the precious resources of
rainwater and sunlight are used as in nature, to
produce food, shade and a space to relax and enjoy.
GREEN ROOF DOMAIN
This space becmae like a park climbing over the
city and connectingevery part of the urban fabric
to the natural edge, where the city meets nature.
It also connects workplaces and activities and to
everybody’s front door. This public space is dependant
on current technologies and the changing values of
society, leading us towards a stronger relationship,
intertwined and dependent on the natural
environment.
PUBLIC SPACE FROM UNDER-UTILIZED ROOFSPACE
Our cities consist of vast areas of underused roof space. In this age of sustainability and reducing waste, this
presents an oppurtunity to create a new vibrant space, connecting rooftop to rooftop. By planting plants on the
roof, the precious resources of rainwater and sunlight are used as in nature, to produce food, shade and a space to
relax and enjoy.
This space is like a park that climbs over the city and connects every part to the natural edge, workplaces, activities
and to everybody’s front door. When moving through the Green Roof Domain you can forget that you are in the HOTEL
city, as all of the urban structure and cars are on the layers below you. OFFICE HOTEL

10. ACTIVITIES
Volunteer Habitat for Humanity (Cambodia)
Harmony Farm (Cambodia)
March-April 2010
I participated in a Habitat for Humanity build for
a family in a rural area near Siem Reap. Habitat for
Humanity provides loans for poor families so they
can build a basic house, giving them a foundation to
lift themselves out of poverty. The family is required
to put in “sweat hours” into building the house and
volunteers also join with them and support the build.
After completing the volunteer program with Habitat
I also volunteered at a orphanage and school in
another rural area called Harmony Farm near Beng
Melea temple where I helped experiment with cow
dung walls, built a window for the orphanage and
assisted with the design and planning of a new house
for the children.

11. PROJECT:
CAVE WALK
2nd Semester 2008 - (Digital Studio)
The cave walk explores the potential for a new
underground space and passageway connecting
Wynyard Station and the soon to be developed
Barangaroo site in Sydney. This design studio focused
on digital design and process. A combination of
3D modelling (Maya), liquid modelling (Real Flow),
animation (After Effects), CAD, Rapid prototyping, and
hand-modelling advanced the design. In researching
space, network/station, movement and flow, the
metaphor of caves was implemented to contrast with
the experience of walking through tunnels in the city
XRAY VIEW OF TUNNELS
and the rigidity of the urban horizontal and vertical
dimensions. The space is dynamic, varying in scale
and quality as well as being well connected with the
world above.
The path of the tunnels was extracted from a flooding
of the city with liquid in Real Flow and then connected
to key intersections, parks and paved areas. This
consequently became not only the human access but
an opening allowing light, ventilation and a visual
connection with the above ground. The quality of
light moving as in an oculus across the surface of the
tunnel provides experiences, unique to particular
times of the day and year. The materiality is bare
sandstone, exposing the natural layering of rocks. The
resulting space provides the user with an increased
awareness of the sky and the earth, both of which are

by “designing” the family. In contemplating the
differences between family life in Australia and Japan
I also noticed many commonalities. One such is the
change over time as the family grows with the arrival

(3rd). The outside translucent walls are formed by
平面図＿3階 1:50
segments of circles of set radii, allowing a partitioning
of space by dividers of the same width. As the walls
can be placed anywhere on the pivot, larger and
smaller rooms with interesting plans can be sectioned
off according to the needs of the changing family.

The site is a a long rectangle in a traditional Japanese
“Machiya” area of Fukuoka. In keeping with the
2 3 streetscape, a flat facade was employed, giving hints
of the design by a slight overhang of the curved form
over the street. A courtyard/garden is possible on
the site by lifiting the building off the ground plane.
Access to the rooms is by spiral staircases allowing
free vertical circulation.

in level. This can be a complex design issue, but also
has potential to be used as an organisational element.
With the 2 observations, flat terrain and “hakikae”
1 2
I decided to challenge the typical flat section of
Hakozaki while exploring the idea of level change.
Another intention in the design was to turn the school
“inside-out”. Most Japanese schools are buildings
floating in the middle of the site, the remaining space
becomes the grounds. In order to create a presence
on the street as well as make the playground the
gathering point I moved the built form to the edge. In
a celebration of these concepts, the lunch rooms form
a bridge connecting the 2 sides of the school. They
are half sunk into the ground, with the displaced earth
forming a hill for watching sports on the playing fields.
Classrooms follow a module which are connected
3 4 to other classrooms by a shared semi-indoor space
consisting of stairs which are both play area and
oustide learning space.

loss of identity as all the buildings compete with each

reason my design partner and I decided to take the

idea of a “walled garden” to begin challenging the
9. existing condition. The walls would be the permanent
buildings, creating enclosure. This wall was then
2 3 GF 1:20
broken down for permeability and access and then
the garden was seen to grow in an organic way from
these solid walls.
One such buildings is the linear biodome which
bulges on the inside of the park from a more solid,
but perforated wall to the outside. The theatre which
became known as the “lantern” is a translucent
geometric structure which forms a cloud around the
solid theatre element.

15. PROJECT:
MARRICKVILLE
1st Semester 2007 - (Sustainable)
This studio began from theoretical research with
strong focus on the socio-cultural aspects of
sustainability. My project took on the issue of car
dependency and movement patterns through Sydney.
High dependence on cars has significant effects on
the urban design and even architectural design of
our cities. My brief became to determine what could
3 Marrickville could look like if cars were drastically
restricted and applied this to the design of a whole
1 city block.
Research revealed over-concentration of employment,
retail and other zones in certain areas. By the break
down of this concentration, one’s daily needs could
be reached in a short walk or trip on public transport.
This lead to the idea of a series of ”nodes”, which
are pockets of employment, retail and services
for the community. The nodes are connected by
pedestrianised streets which lead to train stations, bus
stops, etc for access to other specialised services or
other parts of the city.
4 The design became less constrainted by roads, parking
and setbacks allowing more amenity, with a range of
open spaces to intimate walkways. Apartments were
designed with a variety of outdoor spaces including
shared courtyards and rooftop terraces as break out
space allowing light and ventilation.
